Sakha Republic of Russia
| |
We lived in the Sakha republic of Russia located in Siberia in the coldest city in the world, Yakutsk. The Yakut people are highly educated and have a unique beautiful culture. They are the finest group of people I have met. Pictures are from Yakutsk and surrounding villages. The bones and features displayed near the end are from the Ukagir people of Siberia. There are 750 left in the world and they are the original people of this part of Siberia.

Paradise.
We imagine many things when we think of this word. However, we do not think about Islamic Architecture, which influenced the art of Europe so profoundly. This documentary tours through the Muslim world, in search of that "atmosphere of Paradise," hidden away in mosques and palaces.
